The Commercial Artifact: Beyond its artistic curation, the volume functions as an important historical record of the 1980s fine art photography market, capturing the retail value, print availability, and secondary market status of these specific artists during the decade.
New Exposure balances the aesthetics of a gallery catalog with the pragmatism of a dealer's price list. Under Susan Brachocki's compilation, the volume stands as a concise visual directory capturing the intersection of late 20th-century photographic art and commercial collecting trends.
